A determined group of residents have set up a gardening club to help try and transform their area.
Their aim – to make Wallacetown in Ayr “more colourful” – will use a love of all things nature as a way of connecting with others in the community.
Those behind the project are being supported in their work by a cross-party alliance involving police, fire and council chiefs.
It all comes as part of a bid to clean up the image of the neighbourhood and promote everything that is good about Wallacetown.
Inspector Jason Peter is project lead with the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit and is tasked with working in the area to help bring about a positive change.
He said: “We recently sought the feedback of residents in Wallacetown through a community survey – while the full results are still being analysed a key theme was residents wanting to get involved in gardening as part of their hopes to improve the area.
